The historic Wordsworth Hotel is the perfect setting for your wedding at any time of the year, be it the daffodils in the spring, the rhododendrons and blossom in the summer, the autumnal leaves or the snow-capped fells in the winter. The building was originally built around 1850 for the Earl of Cadogan as his private hunting lodge. It became a hotel in 1874 following the Victorian tourist boom which began after the completion of the North Western railway in 1847. Over the years ‘The Wordsworth’ as it became known some 35 years ago, has hosted European royalty, American presidents and numerous celebrities looking for the luxury of a true country house hotel with modern comforts and that special atmosphere and ambience that’s seldom found these days. The hotel is independently owned and family run providing a warm, personal and dedicated service. “The loveliest spot that man hath ever known”
